Exactly how I feel DrLex.
I like it warm, but not too warm, but if I get out I'll freeze!!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Yeah, but the good news for them is -
By normal standards where I used to change my car every 2 years - I'd be on my third car versus the one D3.
Think of all the CO2 savings I've made in the manufacturing process of vehicles.
AND, it's still going strong with no viable excuse for me to change it!
So.... another 4.5 years [another 3 new vehicles not produced], I might think about changing!
That's 6 vehicles in possible production to 1 in reality!!!!

How many hours on a fuel station forecourt filling up does that represent i wonder I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Or how many chocolate bars have been bought when paying for fill ups

I don't do Chocolate CG
well only on an evening!!!
Just thought that as well as depreciation, I could factor in servicing costs and also costs of repair since out of warranty.
Don't think my calculator could cope though!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
